chavez has been president for 13 years now. and he's hoping that his ability to keep gas prices at the lowest in the world will help him in his re-election bid. we're joined now from caracas, venezuela. paula, what are the chances for chavez? >> you know, it really depends on who you listen to. i got off the phone with the opposition and they're basically saying polls, and by the way, you can't publish them right now, show that the opposition is leading hugo chavez from anywhere from four to eight percentage points. what does that mean? it's difficult to know where the election is going to go tromthat point. that's not a position that hugo chavez is used to finding himself in. the economy has done well in the last 14 years since hugo chavez has come into power. on the other hand, many say it was at the expense of a lot of infrastructure in the country and basically the government was taking the oil profits and trying to redistribute it and not spending in a very efficient way. it's hard to believe, this country still has huge i
